Project Description:

Examining brain and behavior differences in sensory motor in people with and without autism. AIM 1: To define abnormalities in the control of basic sensorimotor processes that are unique to in ASD using tests of motor physiology and brain function. AIM 2: To characterize sensorimotor repetitive behaviors and behavioral inflexibility and their neural substrates in individuals with ASD and related neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., Tourette syndrome). AIM 3: To determine the clinical associations of sensorimotor, cognitive and brain dysfunctions in individuals with ASD and related neurodevelopmental disorders.
